Ok. So I had a little fun with the intro this episode. And it's possible I went a little fan boy on him as well. It's my podcast.

If you don't know Gareth, to say he is a movie/film buff is to say the sun is hot. It's true, but in no way captures the essence. Gareth's movie knowledge is extensive and his passion unparalleled in any of my circles. Founder and organizer of film festivals, critic, reviewer, and commentator, Gareth brings his own experience to his love of movies.

We discuss the power and impact of stories and eventually get into movies and movies as vessels for a story. I am going to try and list all of the movies we talked about but there's a chance I may have missed one or two.

Gareth on Stories:

1.) Is it true. And if not. Is there a truer way I can tell this story.

2.) Am I telling it in the most helpful way.

"The key question is: does the story promote life."

"You're a co-creator, with the divine, of the story of what's gonna happen next."
